It's cold outsideAnd the paint's peeling off of my wallsThere's a man outsideIn a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades outAnd I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like thisThere's a knock on the doorAnd just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm aloneNow I can think for myselfAbout little dealsAnd *issues*And things that I just don't understandLike a white lie that nightOr a slight touch at timesI don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the doorIt's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway"Please sit down"A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to askBut, are `friends' electric?Mine's broke downAnd now I've no one to love

So I find out your reasonFor the phone calls and smilesAnd it hurts And I'm lonelyAnd I should never have triedAnd I missed you tonightSo it's time to leaveYou see this means everything to me
